My name is Colani
Chapter 818 Heading to the Ruhr Area
Generally speaking, the aftereffects of the World Cup are not obvious in Trapani. Wenger was a bit lucky this season, and of course he also contributed to it. He made full use of all the players in the team. Young players such as El Shaarawy, Corgioli, El Shaarawy and others have all been given a lot of opportunities, so that some main players have to take a break.
There is really no way on the front line. There are too many players, and Aguero really doesn't get too many opportunities.
A week later, Trapani ushered in a team that performed particularly well in the league, Lazio. Lazio was still at the top of the standings at the beginning of the season. They played very well, but after a stunning start, they started a journey of high opening and low closing. But now they are still in the top six of the standings and are fully capable of impacting the Champions League zone, because their state has improved after the winter break, and they have been unbeaten in five consecutive games so far.
Lotito is a stingy person. To a certain extent, he will inevitably have a bad relationship with the players. The reason why Rea came to Lazio to save the situation last season was entirely because of Lotito. He had a very bad relationship with the team's players such as Pandev.
Last summer, Lotito terminated the contract with many players, and then invested in players such as Garrido and Hernanes. The strength was average. Before the season, "New Sports" predicted that they would be around 12th in the league, but now their performance has severely slapped the media in the face.
Rea's three central defenders are very smooth and powerful, but they are away this time after all. Trapani has lost one game so far. It was Lazio that killed them in the first half, so this time everyone is holding their breath and wanting to avenge their hatred.
David Luiz, who has been thriving in the team recently, threatened to give Lazio a taste of color at home, and the new Golden Ball winner Messi also expressed his intention to avenge his shame at home.
Of course, Lazio is not afraid. Swiss full-back Lichtsteiner said the team hopes to continue to beat Trapani away from home.
"Playing against a team like Trapani always makes people's adrenaline soar. We have been unbeaten for five games. We hope to continue the recent good momentum. If we can beat Trapani, it will give us great confidence!"
Kolarov, a former Lazio player currently playing for Trapani, does not have much good feelings for Lazio. Although he did not go to Manchester City in the end, he was very disgusted with Lotito's stinginess and the behavior of treating players as cash cows. So before this game, his focus was not on football, but on criticizing Lotito.
But Lotito is a two-faced person. You say yours, he does his own, and he doesn't respond. He doesn't care at all. It's really helpless to meet such a person. His reputation in the Italian football circle is much worse than Hugo.
Rea changed Lazio to play three-back tactics this season, and they still played this way when they came to the Google Stadium. Wenger made more thorough preparations for this game. No one wants to capsize in the gutter of Lazio again and again. Since they are about to go to the Ruhr area of Germany to play against Schalke 04, Wenger also made some necessary rotations. Playing against Lazio is important, but not as important as playing against Schalke 04.
Kolarov got the chance to start as he wished. He actually played a good number of times this season. Evra is the absolute main force in the left back position, but he has to rest, plus some minor injuries, so Kolarov can get a lot of opportunities. He is very satisfied with his current situation.
Today he tried his best to embarrass his old club. It happened that he faced Lichtsteiner on this side. Messi did not play in this game, and then the story of this game was a bit magical. Kolarov and Lichtsteiner overshadowed others.
They had many direct confrontations and conflicts on the court. It was hard to tell that these two were good brothers last season and the guardians of Lazio's wings.
Hugo was also watching the game on the spot. To be honest, Lichtsteiner was really outstanding. He was a little jealous of Lotito. He didn't know where this bastard found people from. In short, Lazio can always polish some players. Kolarov, Lichtsteiner, Sarat and Hernanes are all good.
The most profound impression Lichtsteiner gave Hugo was not his ability, but his mental attributes. He was very tenacious. The 352 formation was destined to require the wingers to have strong running ability, and this Swiss international did it.
But he is not omnipotent. The reason why this game is said to be a dialogue between him and Kolarov is not only because their side played fiercely, but also because both of them scored, one goal each for their own team. Of course, the winner was Trapani. Suarez continued to score goals, and Modric also scored one, allowing Trapani to revenge Lazio at home and get all three points.
The next day, when Hugo went to the training ground to play, he asked Wenger, "What do you think of Lichtsteiner?!"
Wenger said, "He is not suitable for Trapani now!"
Wenger knew what Hugo meant by asking, it was nothing more than wanting to introduce Lichtsteiner, but Wenger did not appreciate Lichtsteiner very much. If he was asked to choose between Lichtsteiner and Maggio, he would choose Maggio without hesitation.
"His fighting spirit is really heart-warming!" Hugo also understood what Wenger meant and said regretfully.
"It's a pity that he is not fast, his passing skills need to be improved, and his feet are rough!" Wenger gave his own evaluation, and Hugo nodded. Lichtsteiner can be described as a fierce player. He is not a fancy player, and his speed is really not very fast, at least not in line with Wenger's requirements.
Wenger likes fast and flexible players, which is good for the frontcourt. Lichtsteiner is not flexible, which does not meet Wenger's selection criteria.
Hugo deliberately went to the team, and he was not angry when he failed to achieve his goal. He appreciated it. When Wenger explained the reason clearly, Hugo could accept it, so he was not unhappy.
...
After playing Lazio, the Champions League will rekindle the war. The advantage of the first place in the group is that you can go to the away game first.
This advantage is a difficult one to explain. You say it is not an advantage, which is definitely wrong. The Champions League knockout stage is a two-round system. The first round is played first, regardless of winning or losing. The team has a judgment on the opponent and the situation. The psychological and momentum advantages of the home court in the second round will increase the team's confidence in advancing.
But to say how big this is, it depends on the team. If the mentality is relatively stable and the strength is superior, this advantage of playing away first and then at home may not play any role.
Trapani is a team that doesn't care much about this advantage. After all, they have experienced too many battles in recent years. When the Champions League knockout stage is no longer unfamiliar, then this advantage really doesn't matter.
Wenger may care about this, but the players don't. Barzagli said when talking about the advantage of playing away first and then at home: "This advantage is mainly psychological! We will try our best to win every game, whether at home or away! If we play at home first, I don't think it's a disadvantage, maybe it's an advantage!"
The first round was on the evening of February 16. Trapani held a press conference on the 14th, and then set off for the Ruhr area on the evening of the 14th. Why go one day earlier? It's just to adapt to the local climate. The weather in Trapani is very different from that in the Ruhr area. Going early is just to adapt to the climate there earlier. The Trapani club has already contacted the training ground and hotel early.
Hugo did not go to the Ruhr area with the team. He would go to Germany on the day of the game and take his son Angelo to watch the away game. Julia is simply a gift from God to Hugo. The two have a clear division of labor at work and have a high level of tacit understanding over the years. Well, to be precise, after Sofia can be handed over to the nanny, Julia's return to work has freed Hugo a lot.
